Eva Smith/ Daisy Renton

• Used

  Just used for the end of a stupid drunken evening, as if she was an animal
• Under-paid

  They wanted the rates raised so that they could average about twenty-five shillings a week
• Vulnerable

  Both her parents were dead, so that she'd no home to go back to
• She hadn't a penny and was going to be turned out of the miserable back room she had
• Realistic

  She knew it couldn't last- hadn't expected it to last
• Lonely

  I became at once the most important person in her life
• Hard-Working

  the foreman there told me he was ready to promote her
• Victim of injustice

  I tod him that if they didn't get rid of that girl […] I'd persuade mother to close our account
• Held responsible

  this girl, Eva Smith was one of [the ring leaders] …. She'd had a lot to say- far too much- so she had to go
• Insignificant

  I couldn't remember her name or where she lived
• Moral

  She wouldn't take any more [when she found the money was stolen]
